MissInformation has been hosting a couple of Brazilians lately. “They are great! I am learning so much,” she told me and added, “Did you know when they make the horn symbol with their hands they are referring to a cheater? It’s because of the bull – the bull has horns, hence, horny. Get it?” I didn’t really get it and decided to google ‘Brazil horny bull cheater.’ Contrary to advice often given by commentators (“Don’t try this at home”), I would only try doing this at home or on your personal phone. Definitely not a work friendly search. With the exception of porn pop-ups, nothing came up.
“Question,” I asked Miss Information, “What do Brazilians call it when they get a Brazilian? Is it still a Brazilian?” Miss Information wasn’t sure but said she could ask. This isn’t something I’ve always wondered, it just seemed like a fair question. A question not unlike the one someone once posed in regards to Canadian bacon. Does a Canadian include the word ‘Canadian’ when ordering bacon? I always forget to pay attention when I’m in Canada with my Canadian friends….or are they just ‘friends’?
MissInformation wanted me to learn a few things and invited me to join her and the Brazilians for brunch. Always interested in meeting others, I humbly accepted the offer and then advised her I wouldn’t be able to go until later in the morning because I was getting my carpets cleaned. “Is that a metaphor for sex or are you really getting your carpets cleaned?” MissInformation quipped. “I’m really getting my carpets cleaned. I’ll head to brunch once they’re done,” I told her and added, “Who doesn’t love a Brazilian?”
